Fresh off their SNL performance, Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr make their way to DC tonight (well Landover, MD really) for what I’m sure will be an unforgettable show. Having never seen U2 before, I, for one, could not be more excited. Plus as far as opening acts go, you really [...]
Kick off your weekend right. Justice + Wale = Hailing from DC/PG County, Wale may not be well known yet nationally, but he “came to get it” and will be (Bold Prediction Alert!) a household name soon enough. Wale’s first full album (He’s released 5 mixtapes) drops November 3. So for now, enjoy his remix [...]
In honor of Jay-Z’s 9/11 benefit concert at MSG, this week’s Friday Fuel features the jigga man himself. But instead of a new track, I thought I’d take us back to 2001 and the original Blueprint.
Super Mash Bros, self-proclaimed as “Girl Talk’s hot cousin,” recently released their second album, ‘All About the Scrilions.’ I’ve always (well, since I heard of them about 6 months ago) been a fan of Super Mash Bros. In February, I wrote about their first album, ‘Fuck Bitches. Get Euros.’ And like the debut, Bros’ sophomore album has [...]
As a thank you to fans, Coldplay recently released ‘Left Right Left Right Left,’ a live post-Viva la Vida album. The best part? You can download it for free from their website. Check out the tracklist after the jump.
This week’s cover comes from Pixie Lott, an 18 year old (!!!!) singer from the UK. Think of her as Amy Winehouse will all the soul and none of the crazy. Here she is singing “Use Somebody,” the latest single from Kings of Leon‘s newest album Only By The Night. Check out the original here. [...]
Though the announcement came weeks after information for other cities was released, we finally have the DC lineup: The Flaming Lips, moe., Los Lobos, DJ Spooky, Joy of Motion Dance Ensemble: Urban Impact, and the Howard University Drummers are set to play on the National Mall on Sunday, April 19 as part of America’s largest [...]
So this week, we’ve got the Chili Peppers doing their version of Jimi Hendrix‘s classic live from Woodstock 1999. Click here to see Jimi do the original 30 years earlier at the first Woodstock. For some reason, the Hendrix video is better quality….O and by the way, just a warning: Flea’s performing naked, but who [...]
What a night of great music from quality musicians! Gomez and Josh Ritter took the Ram’s Head Live (an amazing Baltimore venue, go if you haven’t been, but more on that later) stage with amazing energy in front of a packed house.
What a beautiful day! Maybe Spring has finally sprung. I figured a nice upbeat song like Me and Mia, from Ted Leo and the Pharmacists 2004 album ‘Shake the Sheets,’ would be some great fuel to kickoff the weekend. As Teddy commands us, “Do you believe in something beautiful? Then get up and be it.”
